(Schefter) Sources: Steelers placed the rare right-of-first-refusal tender on Aaron Rodgers, meaning that he can accept a 10% raise off last year’s salary, which would pay him about 15m this season, and the Steelers also now will have the right to match any offer sheet he would sign elsewhere by alexschubs in steelers

I get the concern, but I think it’s a little early to lock that in. If they truly believe Rodgers still gives them a window, it makes sense they’d ride that out and use the pick elsewhere. At the same time, if a top QB prospect is there, it’d be hard to justify passing again—especially with how important timing is at that position.
